Look out Charlie! Versona's in town!

Look out Charming Charlie’s… there’s a new girl in town who has come to shake up your world! And she definitely knows the way to my heart. Her name is Versona!

A few weeks ago someone contacted me, as a Newport News blogger, to invite me to the grand opening of Versona. What tha what?! Yeah - that was my initial thought when I first saw the email. Me?! A blogger worth an invite to a grand opening of a store? Yeah, I know. Pin a rose on my nose!

The Versona Grand Opening was last Thursday, January 31st. However - it snowed. A lot. Like buckets and buckets of snow. So I didn’t make it out of the house.

And then I had a wedding in Northern Virginia this weekend. So even though I was so anxious and highly anticipating losing my “Versona Virginity” - it had to wait. Until today.

As a marketing guru let me first say that the placement of this store is beyond brilliant. Located next door to Trader Joes - I’m pretty positive my husband will be seeing as many jewelry receipts as he will grocery receipts. #sorryimnotsorry. But seriously. Awesome location.

Personally, I was shocked when I saw the price tags. From the outside, the store looks quite up scale and uber fancy. I was expecting Charming Charlie’s prices multiplied by at least two-ish. But I was wrong. The prices are terrific!

Not to mention, that there is a spectacular sale section. I overheard a sales lady telling someone that they do mark downs twice a week. Apparently their inventory is constantly changing and their sale section, and my wardrobe, will benefit from this. Seriously - I got some super classy earrings for $2.99. (Yes, that price included both earrings!)

And holy scarves, Batman! If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with scarves and pretty colors. My closet almost looks like this. Just a lot less organized. Ha!

Please excuse my super frumpy sweater. Yes, I bought that hat. For $6.99. Bam!

Did I mention they have more than just jewels? Their clothes AND shoes were super cute! And between us, I feel like the clothes were a bit better quality than Charming Charlie’s. And again, I was happily impressed when checking out the price tags.

And to my brides, I wish this store had been open when I was getting married. There are so many cute bridesmaid gifts in here!

So yes - they sent me a gift card and invited me to their store. But these are all my personal opinions. If you are in the Newport News area - get your butt to this store. And then go buy some veggies, beer and wine from Trader Joes so your husband doesn’t get mad.

I’m so excited about this store, and a little nervous it’s literally right across the street from my apartment. This could get expensive…

I will definitely have to check out the Versona that I saw the other day In Alpharetta. I had no idea about this store until I read your post, and then magically one appeared before my eyes earlier this week. Thanks for sharing or I would never had known this even existed!
